“…Equine asthma was identified in different Brazilian states (Rio Grande do Norte, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, and Distrito Federal), in all seasons of the year, in different horse breeds, and various sports disciplines. In addition, it has been reported in mules (Melo et al, 2007).…”

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can occur in horses of different breeds and ages. While its occurrence has been reported in many countries, its occurrence across Brazil is unclear. This review aimed to gather information about equine asthma from studies performed in Brazil by different groups and investigate a variety of horse populations. Articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, as well as information contained in dissertations and theses, were searched on PubMed, SciELO, Google Scholar, and the Brazilian government catalog of dissertations and theses. Fifteen studies were included in this review, and according to the published information, the authors identified equine asthma using clinical signs, endoscopic findings, and/or cytological examination of tracheal wash and/or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Studies have investigated horses of different breeds and activities (racehorses, police horses, riding horses, Crioulos horses, and others) and were performed in different regions with diverse climatic conditions. On the previous observed studies, the occurrence varied from 14.0% to 60.0%, with a mean occurrence of 24% for severe asthma. Other studies must be performed to further understand the occurrence of equine asthma in Brazil, according to different climatic regions.

“…Respiratory diseases have a major impact on sports horses in training and are often cited as the second most common reason of horses failing to perform (Melo et al, 2007). Lower respiratory infections are a common problem in adult horses, and can range from mild viral infections to severe, complicated bacterial infections .…”

Respiratory diseases have a major impact on sport horses and are often cited as the second most common reason for loss of training days and significant veterinary costs. Adult horses most commonly develop pneumonia when bacteria aspirated from the environment, nose, or oropharynx reach the lower airways and overwhelm the pulmonary defense mechanisms. This article report five cases of bacterial pneumonia in horses associated with infection by Eschericia coli. Five Quarter horses, three males and two females, with ages varying from 5 to 12 years, were examined for diagnosis of respiratory disease characterized by apathy, cough and lack of appetite. Auscultation of the thorax revealed increased harsh breath sounds dorsally, crackles, wheezes, and dullness of respiratory sounds ventrally. Manipulation of the trachea and larynx induced cough. Culture results were positive for Escherichia coli. The therapeutic protocol consisted of anti-inflammatory, antibiotic therapy, and supportive care. Flunixin meglumine was administered intravenously at 24-hour intervals over eight days. Ceftiofur sodium was prescribed intramuscularly, q.d., for 15 days. Horses were clinically monitored daily until complete remission of clinical signs. None of the animals relapsed, and all returned to routine athletic activities.
